Oil cooler hose pictures Flow

[Brian2034]

Searched the site, looking for a few images.

On my 63 C both oil cooler hoses are above my oil filter but the Lycoming site shows one line below the filter. 
I know It has been discussed on the forum but I didn’t find a definitive answer.

SO???

I have the service bulletin, it doesn’t address which line connects to where on the engine or direction of flow. We’re redoing the lines and want to verify routing

My apologies…

When I got the airplane my oil cooler hoses were not routed per the service bulletin.  When I replaced the hoses, I ran the hose with the 90 degree fitting on the inboard side of the firewall to the top fitting on the oil cooler.  I replicated the engine fitting to oil cooler fitting of the old hoses, but truthfully, I didn’t verify it that was correct per the Lycoming manual.  Logically (?), shouldn’t the pressure side to the oil cooler be on the bottom fitting of the oil cooler and the return hose on the top fitting?  That way your pushing air in the system up, not down?

Hope these pics help… (Disclaimer, I’m in the middle of a number of projects here, so there’s going to be some eye-catchers, if you know what I mean.  Please be gentle.)

Looks similar to my setup, are you running an oil filter?

Yes, but it’s not a remote filter.  It’s not installed when these pics were taken.  In the first pic, note the blue shop towel sticking out of the oil filter pad orifice… below the vacuum pump.
